William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum

1200 President Clinton Ave · Little Rock, AR

Why you should go…

The William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum covers the 1993 to 2001 administration. You can step into a full-size replica of the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room, and follow a 110-foot timeline of the presidency in the main gallery. The main building cantilevers toward the Arkansas River, a nod to Clinton's phrase about building a bridge to the 21st century. Next door, the 1899 Rock Island Railroad Bridge is now a pedestrian crossing to North Little Rock.

Good to know

General museums guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Check the special exhibition separately

    Touring shows usually carry their own ticket and their own opening hours, listed apart from general admission.

  • Look for the free window

    Many museums run community days, member evenings, or discounted late openings. It is worth a look before you pay full price.

  • Travel light through the door

    Large bags and backpacks often have to go to a coat check, and lines for it move slowly at opening.

  • Weekday mornings beat weekend afternoons

    School groups clear out by early afternoon midweek, while weekends stay busy from late morning on.
